a finished sweater and some random stuff

2008-08-19T04:21:57Z

My dishcloth mania seems to have abated. I'm actually picking up other projects. I got the ball of yarn I needed for Ivana's socks, started them and then had to rip them out because my gauge for Panda Cotton has changed (huh??) and they were too h...

dishcloth mania continues

2008-08-13T06:45:49Z

I'm not sure why I'm so into dishcloths right now, but I am. I think it's the practically instant gratification, especially when they are crocheted. In any case, I have finished three more since my last post. The green and white and blue and wh...

dishcloth mania

2008-08-11T22:38:54Z

Whenever I feel like stash busting I head for the dishcloth cotton. These days it's often the dishcloth cotton and the crochet hook. In the past couple of days I finished up the last of one of my two cones of Peaches & Creme dishcloth cotton left....

half a stash?

2008-08-09T16:50:17Z

My stash number seemed a bit on the low side to me, after all it "only" came out to 11.25 miles. I remembered posting that I had 12 miles at one point and then more later. I decided to go back and see what I used to have. On January 5th of this ye...

I have been busy, traveling and knitting and... buying yarn. You saw the yarn I bought in the Netherlands. I then bought some hemp yarn in Philadelphia and Teenuh picked up some Sugar' n cream for me at Michael's because it was dirt cheap (DIRT CH...

an outing to de afstap

2008-07-24T15:42:24Z

I decided that since we had a long day yesterday that I would take today to go by myself to Amsterdam. Erik agreed and off I went. I went to the train station in Haarlem, bought myself a ticket and set off. I thought it was a good sign that my yar...

heads and toes

2008-07-20T06:38:33Z

I finished my dream swatch headwrap last Wednesday. I had to block it to try to get it to curl less and we went away for a bit but, of course, that doesn't work very well and it still curls a bit. I don't think you can tell when it is on, though. ...

yarn souvenirs

2008-07-16T19:38:26Z

I hit a "handwork"shop today: v.d. Raad Kleinvak on Spaarnwouderstraat in Haarlem. For a shop that isn't just about yarn, I thought they had a decent selection, and quite a lot of non-wool yarns! I got some Scheepjes cotton/acrylic yarn that was o...

I've been remiss, but busy

2008-06-30T05:32:20Z

Karen noted today at BobaKnit that I haven't posted much recently. It's not because I haven't been knitting, I have! Niels is out of school and Stefan didn't go anywhere, and is napping even less since our schedule has become more loose, so I have...
